For my trip, I blended previous experiences, new knowledge learned here, and about 6 months of research to come up with our … CONTINUED

This week on Ignition, Carlos Lago tests the BMW M5… again! This time around it has something called the Competition Package, which adds a host of small adjustments and improvements in an effort to improve the car’s performance and the satisfaction it gives to its driver.
